[Greece 2004] Athens Impression (12)

雅典有著不饒人的艷陽烈日!
The sun in Athens is unforgivingly burning.

在走進古市場遺址之前,並不知道它到底有多大,等到在裡面走了幾分鐘,開始感覺到前不著邊後不著店,身邊空蕩蕩,完全看不到一個人影的時候,纔又重拾了一個人旅行的浪漫。
Before I went into the site of the Ancient Market, I didn’t know exactly how big it is. After wandering around inside the Market for a few minutes, I started to feel there’s no one around. It’s the very moment I re-started to enjoy the romantic feeling of traveling all by myself.

是的,一個人旅行的浪漫。沒有同行旅人的叨絮,一個人旅行的時候,話說的特別少,也就更能沉澱自己的思緒。找個空無一人的角落,或幻想、或省思,一個人的旅行,總能夠讓我想通很多事情。
Yes, the romance of traveling alone. There’re no other people to bother me. When I travel by myself, I rarely speak. It helps me to calm down and think. I like to find a hidden corner to imagine or to reflect myself. I realize a lot of things when I travel by myself.

在古市場遺址的當天,不饒人的烈日,讓我在各樹蔭間遊走,幾天旅行下來的勞累,腫脹的雙腳,實在不是個適當的時機。倔強如我,還是咬著牙,花了兩個多小時繞了一圈。旅途的勞頓,終將轉變成往後的記憶;休息?等回家再說吧!
The sun seemed especially hot on the day I went to the Ancient Market. It’s been a few days since my arrival and after walking continuously for some days my feet were really tired. Stubborn as I am, I insisted and wandered for more than two hours, hopping from one tree shade to another. The tiredness of the trip would become my memory. Taking a rest?! Well, let’s talk about rest when I’d be home.
